Let's take this step-by-step. First, I strongly recommend using knitr over Sweave (this is not just a personal preference). If you go to Help > Specific Manuals > Knitr and compile, does it work?
Scott, Interesting. I'll take a little time to try this, but after a lot more research I believe that I indentified the problem: Sweave (at least) wants to run R code to produce a result ,such as str() and summary(), rather than using a data.frame already generated by R. A quick test will tell me if knitr behaves differently. The results I want to include in the document have already been calculated and I have them in the cwd as records of each day's R session. They just do not cleanly paste into the LyX document; the \n seem to be lost and I need to clean up the text. The idea was to have Sweave nicely format the results in the document, even putting them in a table for me. Thanks for the suggestion, Rich
